I shop around local sporting good stores and stock up on hardware and supplies. There is a store dead smack in Medford Center that that reduces prices up to $40 on fishing equipment. I have purchased all of my rods and reels during this time of year and I have saved several hundred dollars.

Also, someone else mentioned fishing for schoolies in rivers during the winter, that is indeed very true. I have caught schoolies out of the Mystic in December. When the hankering to cast those line too much of a burden, I make a few trips. Usually come up empty and I get cold quickly, but I have caught some schoolies and some nice sized cod and pollack from the shore here in the Boston area during dead winter, especially in Feb. & March. I have also noticed that the skates I catch from the shore during the winter time, on average, are bigger than the those landed during the warmer months.
